I had no idea until seeing this Shorpy photo that a fine restaurant in Raleigh, NC, is named after an architectural style. Learn something every day.

In 1940 this school had only been abandoned for a few years; its last class graduated in 1936. It endured a total of fifty years of disuse before it was re-opened in 1986 as a beautifully restored museum.
